I've been thinking along the same lines, but details would depend on the height & depth of your full height cupboard (if any) it would abutt to.
If you have a high top or pop top you can get the profile by offering a plank up to the rear edge of the roof cut-out, and drawing along the underside of the roof on to it. This will then be the right curve for the top of the locker front piece.
Anyone know of a decent material to use, other than Vohringer ply which seems to go for £100 a sheet! Might try a net hammock in the style of a rally car first.
